From Woodstock to Wisdom: A Boomer's Journey to 80 is a smart, funny, and refreshing field guide to aging with purpose, humor, and visibility.
Written by one of the first Baby Boomers to reach 80, Vicki Thomas offers a front-row perspective on a generation redefining later life. Through short, engaging essays, she explores ageism, identity, health, work, relationships, loss, and reinvention-without nostalgia or anti-aging clichés.
With sharp cultural observations and wry humor, Thomas tackles real-life topics like changing bodies, caregiving, technology, financial uncertainty, and becoming an influencer at 79. Each chapter blends lived experience with practical wisdom and invites readers to see elderhood as a time of voice, relevance, and contribution.
This book is for Baby Boomers and Gen Xers asking, "What now?", and for anyone who refuses to fade quietly. From Woodstock to Wisdom reframes longevity not as decline, but as a bold new life stage, and delivers a compelling call to action to age visibly, purposefully, and unapologetically, encouraging readers to claim their voice, their relevance, and their next chapter.

About the Author
Thomas, Vicki: - Vicki Thomas never expected to be one of the first Baby Boomers turning 80-but here she is, laughing about it and writing it all down. She's the Chief Purpose Officer at My Future Purpose, a certified gerontologist (yes, that means she studies aging while also living it), and winner of the 2013 $100,000 Encore.org Purpose Prize (now CoGenerate.org). She has survived transistor radios, rotary phones, shoulder pads, dial-up internet, and more commercials than she cares to admit. Now she's on a mission to prove that elderhood is not the end of the story-it's the best encore yet. When she's not working or writing, Vicki can be found volunteering in her community and running workshops on purposeful living. She lives in Connecticut with her husband, Steve, and their dogs, Finn and Sconnie, both of whom are very patient with her stories.
